Supplemental material

Files in this Data Supplement:

• Supplemental file 3 -

  Plot of the interaction between habitat type, raccoon body weight, and hemoplasma infection (Fig. S1); frequency of hemoplasma genotype richness in raccoons in protected and urban barrier island habitats (Fig. S2); alignments of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of raccoon hemoplasma genotypes 3 (Fig. S3), 6 (Fig. S4), 4 (Fig. S5), 5 (Fig. S6), and 2 (Fig. S7) and other, related hemoplasma sequences, demonstrating nucleotide sequence differences between the species; best-fit GLM of hemoplasma infection prevalence in raccoons (Table S3).
